Inside America’s political battleground

BBC World Service - Trending, Inside America’s political battleground

Meet those involved in controversial groups on both sides of the US political spectrum.

We hear from individuals on the extremes of American politics, and explore what part social media has played in the radicalisation of parts of American society.

From the Proud Boys' Enrique Tarrio, to far right militias and Antifa, we hear from individuals on the extremes of American politics about what they believe and why, and explore what part social media has played in the radicalisation of parts of American society.
